P-plater restrictions ‘need some rethinking’: NRDSC The Northern Rivers Social Development Council (NRSDC) says it is pleased that the debate on road safety is being taken seriously by the NSW Minister for Roads Eric Roozendaal, who will introduce new restrictions on P-plate drivers, however NRSDC calls for the debate to be widened to discuss and offer viable, safe alternatives, such as better public transport options for everyone in rural and regional areas. ‘While the restrictions being introduced will have a significant impact on the mobility of younger people around the region, there is an acknowledgment that a blanket ban on drivers under 25 years of age having more than one passenger (under 21 years of age) between

the hours of 11pm and 5am would be unreasonable for some P-platers, particularly where there is no public transport alternative in rural areas,’ said NRSDC president Jenny Dowell. ‘Driving family members, travelling to work or community commitments such as SES or rural fire fighting and driving in an emergency are appropriate exemptions.’ ‘There are few transport options for young people on the north coast,’ said Tim Childs, NRSDC CEO. ‘Night-time initiatives such as the Lismore Latenighter, Byron Night Bus and the YOWI bus, go part way in providing targeted transport but we need more services with greater flexibility to meet the needs of young people for work,

education and recreation. Importantly we must avoid a situation where novice drivers are forced into breaking the law in order to transport themselves and friends simply because there are no other viable alternatives. ‘As the government moves to toughen conditions for P-plate drivers, particularly at night, they also must guarantee that there will be suitable alternatives available, such as safe and reliable public transport services. This is the opportunity for the Ministers for Roads and Transport to work together to provide both safeguards and alternatives that allow young drivers to make better choices for their safety and the wellbeing of the community,’ he said.

PAN presents prizes for its peers

Mitch McKenzie of Dorrigo delivers the final blow in his standing block heat in Brunswick Heads on Saturday. Joy Slater of Brunswick Valley Woodchop said the entire four days were excellent. ‘We had more ladies competing in the woodchop this year with a New Zealand team coming over for the event, as well as a full Australian ladies team taking part. Every state in Australia was represented at this event also, and we had two men from the USA competing too. ‘All of the international visitors said they were keen to come back, they were really taken with the Brunswick hospitality and the friendships they began at the event.’ The men’s and ladies’ Champion of Champions are J Beckett from Paxton NSW (who defended his title) and New Zealander K Wynyard, respectively. Male points score winner was D Shipman, Glenreagh NSW, and women’s point score winner was another New Zealander, S Taylor. Australia won 3/0 in the International Test against New Zealand Ladies and New South Wales was victorious in the State of Origin Relay. See more results in Sports pages. Photo Lou Beaumont

Minister gives $7,000 to rescue squad

Mike Cook, left, President of the Brunswick Valley Volunteer Rescue Squad and his team show the NSW Minister for Emergency Services Tony Kelly the impressive workings of the many rescue vehicles. A former member of the VRA himself, Mr Kelly handed over a cheque for

$7,000 for much needed jaws of life equipment. He thanked the volunteers on behalf of the NSW community for protecting our lives and for risking their own in doing so. Mr Kelly added, ‘If you costed out the amount of time volunteered for incident callouts and all of the train-

ing involved in this kind of work, it would equate to around $2.3 billion a year. ‘Imagine what an annual expenditure like that would do to our state budget, or the police or hospital services if the money was extracted from there. So thank you for all of your hard work.’ Photo Lou Beaumont

Byron United praises police efforts Byron business lobby group Byron United said in a press release last week: ‘In light of recent events in Brunswick Heads and Griffith Byron United wishes to acknowledge the work of the Byron Bay Police Force in ensuring that the Christmas holiday/ New Year period has been a safe one for locals and visitors in Byron Bay. As a business organisation, Byron United is committed to assisting the police and community in making 2007 a safe and secure environment for residents and visitors alike. ‘We encourage everyone to

exercise respect and tolerance towards each other, the community and the natural environment. We fully support the Byron Bay Police forces efforts to implement zero tolerance towards abuse and violence of any sort. As a business organisation we will expand our work with the police and community to ensure that everyone can walk the beaches and streets of Byron, day and night, knowing they will be safe. ‘While Byron had few issues this year, both the police and BU believe additional measures should be considered‌

‘High on our list of priorities for 2007 is cleaning up the CBD. We believe that by cleaning up the town it will encourage everyone to treat it with the respect it deserves. ‘Other key issues include the installation of more lighting and CCTV cameras in the CBD area. We will also work closely with youth groups to offer any sort of assistance needed. ‘We strongly believe that local kids require gainful means of employment, a sense of belonging and achievement and a range of activities and entertain-

ment.’ BU president Ed Ahern President of Byron United said, ‘Anti social behaviour of any sort is unacceptable and everyone, be they local or visitor has the right to feel safe. We want to strengthen Byron Bay’s reputation as a warm, welcoming and tolerant community, respectful of each other and the community and environment we live in. ‘We fully support the police and any community effort that encourages this. We are certainly committed to making this one of our key priorities for 2007.’

Well known business woman and arts philanthropist Janet Holmes Ă Court has made a substantial 5 year commitment to provide funding towards a quick response grant scheme for Australian artists. Starting with $15,000 in 2007, the funds will be made available for emerging artists Australia-wide, to go towards costs associated with getting their work to exhibition. ‘I am very aware of the costs associated with mounting exhibitions and bringing them to the attention of the public, so I am very pleased to be able to contribute to supporting emerging artists in this way,’ said Mrs Holmes Ă Court. The scheme will be managed by the National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA), the peak body rep-

resenting the professional interests of the Australian visual arts and craft sector, which has many years experience running a variety of other support schemes for artists. NAVA announced that applications for the Janet Holmes Ă Court Artists’ Grant Scheme are open immediately, with the first closing date for the year on February 15, 2007. Application forms and guidelines are available from the NAVA website www.visualarts.net.au. ‘We could not be more delighted that someone of Mrs Holmes Ă Court’s profile and reputation as an arts supporter and art collector, has provided this philanthropic leadership, and we are proud to be associated with it,’ said Tamara Win-

ikoff, Executive Director of NAVA. ‘Easy to access grants like this can give artists a really important start up the success ladder. ‘Previous recipients of similar small grants like Patricia Piccinini, have gone on to represent Australia internationally, and their work has become part of important national collections. ‘It is a clear demonstration of the crucial importance of investing in the development of artists early in their careers,’ said Ms Winikoff. Four times a year, the new Janet Holmes Ă Court Artists’ Grant will provide amounts of up to $500 for individual artists or $1,000 for groups, for costs associated with having an exhibition.

The scheme is expected to support at least 25 artists each year for the next five years. This new grant will join NAVA’s Visual and Craft Artists Grant Scheme supported by the Visual Arts Board of the Australia Council and the Marketing Grant for NSW Artists supported by Arts NSW, in giving Australian artists a range of professional development opportunities and public exposure to their work. The other grant programs managed by NAVA include the Freedman Foundation Travelling Scholarship for Emerging Artists, the Windmill Trust Scholarship for regional NSW and ACT artists, and the Ripe: Art and Australia/ANZ Private Bank Contemporary Art Award.

Youth crew aims for extreme fun daze This Saturday the newly formed Community Incubator Youth Crew are holding their debut gig Xtreme Fun Sportz Daze at theYAC from 10am till 6pm. They are planning a day of ‘extreme fun’ for youth and supporters, including sumo suit wrestling , a dunking machine, art and craft workshops, circus fun, break dancing displays, hula-hoop workshops to the beats of DJ Amozon, Arakwal face art and storytelling, Byron Electric Choppers, Jason Campbell’s break dancing display, slip n slide, and Lions BBQ. Headlining the day’s events is Darwin hip-hop crew Culture Connect. Born out of what they say is a lack of support for youth in the community, the Youth Crew aims to build a grass roots network of support, by youth for youth. Banding together they want to tackle a range of issues affecting them including housing, transport, employment, sexual health and safety and entertainment. Any young people wanting to join them are asked to step forward. ‘Everyone complains about the destructive behaviour of youth in Byron,’ says public officer Dyani Bevans. ‘But everyone knows there are not enough events or safe places for youth to hang out.

‘How can this town criticise its youth when it has done so little to support them? We feel it is time to take things into our own hands and try to make a difference. We now know that if we don’t try to help the younger people coming up, then things are just going to get worse.’ All ages are welcome to the event. Preparations have not been smooth sailing with the

only funding of $1,000, promised from Council being revoked, according to the crew. The Youth Crew would like to thank Red Rose Realty, the Lions Club and Sein Lowrey for coming to their aid with $200 each and ask that anyone else in the community who is able to help to call 6685 3945 0401 017 636 or email deetinley @bigpond.com. They do report a very pos-

itive response from the business community which has been very generous by donating food, prizes and services for the day. ‘Any business or individual who has a vested interest in making Byron Bay a better place, not just for locals but for tourists and their children, is encouraged to step up with anything they have to offer; it will be greatly appreciated, says Dyani.

Starting from humble beginnings in Byron Bay, Feros Care now operates residential aged care facilities in Byron Bay and Bangalow and 11 community care programs from Coffs Harbour to Caboolture in south east Queensland. The Excellence in Management Award recognised that while Feros Care has expanded with new community services, it retained its high quality, reliability and friendly reputation. To achieve this, Feros Care invested heavily in staff development and fostered leadership amongst its management. Feros Care chief executive officer Jennene Buckley said. ‘It’s fantastic our staff development systems, our growing service range and work culture have been recognised nationally. At Feros Care it starts with employing staff who have a passion to care for the elderly and see it as a privilege to do so. ‘Winning this award reflects the enormous efforts our staff makes each day improving the quality of lives of the elderly in their care.’ Feros Care invests in its workers through a number of initiatives including a Seven Star Development and Training Program, an Employee Benefits Scheme and a WorkFit Program, which promotes a healthy approach to work/ life balance and worker safety. Central to Feros Care’s successful growth in the region has been the organisation’s use of demographic analyses to identify elderly populations at risk, service gaps and operational viability. ‘It’s about finding what the elderly really want and then delivering focused services to meet those needs,’ says Mrs Buckley. Currently Feros Care is implementing a program which combats loneliness, boredom and helplessness.

Chess has a deserved reputation for focusing young minds and harnessing creativity that would otherwise be scattered across less wholesome pursuits. Despite its well-documented advantages, schools have been reluctant to teach the game because it traditionally relies on an individual enthusiast, teacher or volunteer parent, and the program becomes unsustainable when the volunteer moves on. However, in the last few

years chess businesses that provide ongoing chess coaching services to schools have sprung up all around Australia. There are at least seven such businesses in Melbourne alone. Commercial operations have a vested interest in providing sustainable long term programs. Now Gardiner Chess Centre, based on the Gold Coast, is able to provide chess coaching services to schools in the Byron Bay and Mullumbimby areas. The centre, which provides coaching for

many schools from Noosa to Ballina, is also running a regular schools competition in the Tweed to Ballina region. Schools interested in discussing a possible chess program for their students, or interested in joining the regional competition, should contact Graeme Gardiner of Gardiner Chess on 07 5522 7221. The Gardiner Chess coach for the region would also be happy to help set up a local community chess club.

Nominate for Landcare awards Landcarers from across the Northern Rivers region are being asked to nominate for the Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority’s inaugural Regional Landcare Awards to be announced on March 29. Board Member of the Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority, Sally Wright, said the Catchment Management Authority wished to celebrate the enormous achievements of the regional landcaring community.

Contributions to environmental restoration, conservation and innovative natural resource management will be recognised in a range of award categories from individuals and community groups to primary producer and community-local government partnerships. Each category will be judged by specialists within the specific field and at least one Board Member and a Landcare representative. All regional award winners will automatically go through

into the nominations for the State Landcare Awards. ‘A few years ago this region was very successful in winning six out of ten NSW Landcare Awards, so we are expecting some fantastic projects to come forward,’ said Ms Wright. Applications close on February 6, with nomination forms available on the Catchment Management Authority website at www.northern. cma.nsw.gov.au. For more information contact Lindy Brown on 6561 4962.

Submissions call on water plan Chairman of National Water Commission, Ken Matthews, has called on interested organisations and members of the public to comment on the implementation and progress of the National Water Initiative (NWI). ‘The Commission is currently preparing the first biennial assessment of the NWI and we are interested in gathering feedback and views on how the parties to the NWI – Australian, State and Territory Governments – are meeting their commitments,’ Mr Matthews said. ‘The NWI is our blueprint for improving water management in Australia and is an inter-governmental agreement that represents the shared commitment of all

governments in Australia to national water reform. ‘The assessment is intended to assess progress of the parties against implementation plans and to seek advice on actions required to better realise the objectives and outcomes of the NWI.’ The assessment will be completed by mid 2007 and will be provided as a report to the Council of Australian Governments as part of the Commission’s role in assessing and reporting on progress of the NWI. Those interested in providing a submission should consider how their submission relates to the eight NWI priority elements of water management. These are water access entitlements and planning framework,

water markets and trading, best practice water pricing, integrated management of water for environmental and other public benefit outcomes, water resource accounting, urban water reform, knowledge and capacity building, and community partnerships and adjustment All submissions received will be made publicly available on the Commission’s website following the closing date unless marked ‘Confidential’. Further information about the NWI, the biennial assessment and how to make a submission is available from the Commission’s website at www.nwc. gov.au/nwi. Submissions close February 19.

From this Friday to Sunday from 10 am each day, armed with paint and palette and determined to give art lovers and the inquisitive more than just an ordinary art exhibition, Mesha, Ben and Rose will merge into a Spontaneous Combustion on canvas with Three Arms.

Council gets funds for sustainable agriculture Byron Shire Council has received $30,000 from the NSW Natural Resources Advisory Council to help undertake a Sustainable Agriculture Partnerships project. Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham said that Council’s successful application was one of only eleven projects funded under round 2 of the Forging Partnerships program, which was established to promote partnerships for the sustainable management of natural resources in NSW. Council will use the funds to develop a partnership with

the Sustainable Agriculture Roundtable and the real estate industry to develop ways to inform new and existing rural landholders of the issues and responsibilities of living in a rural area, said Cr Barham. ‘Many people moving to rural parts of Byron Shire are unaware of local land management issues and their responsibilities as land managers,’ Cr Barham said. ‘This has resulted in conflict between neighbours and poor land management practices.’ The project partners will develop a range of educa-

tional resources and activities to ensure new residents are aware of land management issues such as weeds, noise and pesticide use; their responsibilities as land managers, and the importance of agriculture to the Shire in providing food, fibre, income and biodiversity. These issues were raised during the development of Council’s Sustainable Agriculture Strategy, which can be downloaded from Councils website www.byron.nsw. gov.au. Agriculture is the third largest source of income for the Shire, generating between $35 and $57.5 million annually (ABS, 2000). The project will allow various activities described within the Sustainable Agriculture Strategy to be carried out in 2007. More information about

Temple holds open day The Open Day of the Sacred Earth Gallery Temple, Middle Pocket, will be held on January 20 from 10am to 7pm. There will be three guided tours of the Big Picture on the day – at 11-12, 2-3 and 5-6. You can see an art installation that traces time from the Big Bang to ‘the Earth’s imminent Shift of the Ages,’ according to organisers. ‘Two years in the making, the installation is a huge and highly coherent design involving a thousand images and numerous objects. ‘Journey of the Sacred Earth gives the observer a unique means of perusing the amazing saga of our world history, investigating

the nature of reality and humanity’s role within it, as well as standing face to face with the chronic disorders of ecological irresponsibility and inhumanity and the choices faced at this critical hour. Situated within a subtropical paradise, the Sacred Earth Gallery Temple is a prayer for the paradisiacal Earth.’ The tours will be facilitated by the Sacred Earth Gallery Temple’s artist and Keeper, Feathers the Dawn. Feathers will be disassembling this huge work after the imminent completion of filming Journey of the Sacred Earth. For more information ring Feathers the Dawn on 6680 2269.

Exhibition curator Narmada Smith and Melissa Forde, the director of the Federal Village Gallery.

Organisers say over 150 art enthusiasts viewed an exhibition of tribal art entitled ‘The Painted World of the Warli’ at the Federal Village Gallery last weekend. The Warli are a group of indigenous tribal communities of Dravidian descent. They are known as ‘Adi Vasi’ or original inhabitants, the ancient aboriginal people of India. For well over 4,000 years the Warli have continued to practice their tradtional way of life and for centuries have resisted the subsuming of their culture into the

dominant Hindu society. The elaborate and intricate designs are painted from white rice flour which is ground and mixed with water to form a paste applied to a background of red ochre that is collected from their sacred mountain. The lyrical narratives offer a window into this ancient culture depicting daily life in the village. The show is on until January 28 at Federal Village Gallery, phone 6688 4668. The gallery is open Wednesday to Sunday, 11am-4pm.

Comment

Vol 21 #31

January 16, 2007

Cool heads needed A few rough nuts among young local men and visitors cast a bad light over the entire youth community; even though those who gather at night in numbers may be keen on letting off steam, they are not all out to create trouble. Likewise there are a few police officers who believe their mandate to enforce the law is a divine right to behave badly, thus jeopardising other officers’ ability to create trust in the wider community, which includes the parents and friends of whichever latest youngster in trouble. When the youth community and police on the beat intersect, it can be a recipe for tension. Let’s face it, the police have a tough job: their lives can be in danger, they face abuse and evidence can be hard to gather in the face of conflicting information. When investigating vicious sexual assaults, police may be less inclined to feel kindly towards suspects, to say the least. The latest couple of violent incidents and the alleged targeting of Straight Edge – and as Inspector Jago has said, how are police supposed to tell the difference between legitimate Straight Edge pacifists and lookalikes? – have youth workers and parents looking around for solutions. There is talk of a forum to discuss issues and some parents are considering taking their concerns of perceived police heavy-handedness to a political level. It would indeed be a shame if the targeting of youth in similar costume deteriorates to a situation similar to the bad old days when surfers and hippies were roughed up and run out of town. Cool heads are now needed. It is incumbent upon senior officers of the Tweed Byron Local Area Command to ensure good liaison is in place with youth workers, parents and young people themselves. It is not just about law and order; it is about policing being understood and appreciated in the wider community. That will only happen when individual officers are prepared to cooperate in making it so. In similar fashion the rest of us have to appreciate the police’s role in preserving the thin blue line between reasonable order and violent anarchy. But above all we cannot afford to lose entirely the trust of a younger generation.

P-plate pressure On another youth issue, the state government is introducing restrictions on P-plate drivers in a bid to reduce the road toll. These include a ‘curfew’ on driving with a full car for under 25s after 11pm, a ban on mobile phones and automatic licence suspension for first-year drivers caught speeding. Highway police have already indicated they may not have the numbers to enforce the new provisions. The restrictions are expected to be introduced in July this year and young drivers can read more online at www.rta.nsw.gov.au. Both the NRMA and the Northern Rivers Social Development Council have pointed out the drawbacks for young people in this new scheme. The ‘curfew’ tends to undermine the value of a designated driver – and there is plenty of local anecdotal evidence of this helping to lessen drink driving – and stuffs up social activities such as going out to a movie or dance which doesn’t finish before 11pm. In rural areas such as ours this is particularly onerous with a lack of public transport. Youth, high-powered cars and testosterone is often a volatile mix but restricting the mobility of rural youth offers little joy. More driver education and peer pressure to drive well – yes, it does happen – is needed, and not just among young drivers.

Bush persists in his grand folly

S

o, as predicted, George W Bush is sending another 20,000-odd Yanks to Iraq to join the push against that door clearly marked ‘pull’. (In-SAN-ity, noun: 1. Inability to come to terms with reality; a constant state of derangement. 2. The belief that constantly repeating the same action will eventually lead to a different result.) While weeping over the death of a single soldier, Bush has sent a multitude to join him, in the manner of a primitive shaman sacrificing the followers of a dead hero to keep him company in the grave. Virtually none of the professionals believe the new strategy is anything more than a device by which Bush hopes to save his own face, to provide a buffer period during which he can blame the Iraqis themselves for the manifest failure of his grand folly. Bush himself admits that it will cost some American lives, and who knows (or cares) how many more Iraqis will have to die before the spin doctors are ready to declare victory and leave, in Henry Kissinger’s callous phrase. There is now both a popular and a political majority of Americans opposed to any escalation of the war; even in his own country Bush is a clear loser, and of course international opinion is overwhelmingly in favour of an immediate withdrawal. So where does our own Dear Leader stand? Well, he says, emerging briefly from a round of pressing photo opportunities at holiday sporting events, it’s got to be worth a try; anything’s better than a perceived American defeat. Back to the cricket, or tennis, or whatever it was. For once it is hard to disa-

gree with the dreaded Sheik al-Hilaly: our Prime Minister is indeed Mr Me Too. As always, Alexander Downer was frothier: The Labor Party, he bubbled, wanted to leave Iraq in the hands of thugs and terrorists. Well, so, apparently, do the American Democrats, large sections of the Pentagon, and nearly two out of three American voters. And in any case, who does he think is running the place now? The YWCA? As usual Lord Downer seems stranded in Fantasy Land, the happiest kingdom

Bush initiative has been: ‘Up to a point, Mr President’. And incidentally, George W, from now on you’re on your own. Bush’s response to all this negativism has been a defiant: ‘Well, what would you do?’ And it must be admitted that it’s a hard question to answer. While there is now almost universal acceptance that the invasion of Iraq has been a disaster (and, in spite of the last-ditch apologists, was always going to be a disaster, no matter how the occupation was handled) there is still a marked reluctance to cut and run; and

Australia’s interests are not served by propping up a political campaign designed purely for American consumption, but this remains Howard’s position. by Mungo MacCallum of them all. If he really believes that the extra troops will somehow bring to Baghdad (let alone the rest of the country) sufficient stability to enable the Iraqi forces to look after their own security for more than a week and a half then he is the only one in the world who does. But even Downer isn’t that silly; at least he is a sharp enough politician to have refused any request for additional Australian troops even before the request was made. Downer, like Howard, is simply being polite to his great and powerful friend in the manner of Evelyn Waugh’s editor who used the formula ‘Absolutely, Lord Copper’, when his boss was right and ‘Up to a point, Lord Copper’, when the boss was wrong. Reading between the lines, Canberra’s response to the

Howard is of course right when he says that to do so would not only humiliate America in the propaganda war against terrorism (the only real war there is) but hamstring any future effort to involve Washington in more productive intervention in the future – we could forget about sending peacekeepers to Africa, for instance. But the problem is that short of a miracle this is going to happen anyway. The troop increases is being spun as giving Baghdad one last chance; if, by the end of 2007, Iraqis are still not capable of looking after their own security, then no-one can say Bush didn’t try. This just might play within the United States itself (which is all that really matters to Bush) but in the wider world it won’t fool anyone for a second.

Australia’s interests are not served by propping up a political campaign designed purely for American consumption, but this remains Howard’s position. He will leave our existing forces there, do his best to ensure that they are not put in any serious danger, and withdraw them as soon as Washington agrees, all the while loyally pretending that the ‘new’ strategy is something more than a cover for his mate’s desperate desire to salvage his reputation, to be paid for in blood. Mr Me Too indeed.

I

t has taken just on five years, but the HowardDowner-Ruddock axis of acquiescence has finally decided (prompted no doubt by a big swing in the opinion polls) that enough is nearly enough. Having spent most of their waking hours since 2003 declaring David Hicks guilty of everything except cattle duffing, they are now anxious that the government of the United States get on with proving it as soon as practicable, and if that doesn’t happen, they’ll just ... they’ll just ... well, go back to talking about something else, presumably. The sheer gut-churning hypocrisy of Howard drivelling on about the presumption of innocence and the right to speedy justice last week was matched only by the sickening subservience of his refusal to offer even the faintest hope of protection to an Australian citizen who has been cynically abandoned to arbitrary imprisonment and torture at the hands of a foreign power. When the rest of his regime has been mercifully forgotten, this indelible blot will remain as John Howard’s epitaph.

Dealing with youth and violence ■ The violence exhibited by the mobs of teenagers in Brunswick over the holiday break should be examined for what it is. The combination of drugs and alcohol is deadly, and given the ice/amphetamine epidemic rampant in our young community, I bet drugs are the major cause of the nightmares which were visited on Bruns. Ice, in particular, causes devastating violent episodes. It turns its users in mad people who lose all control and act in ways that are completely out of character. We need 12 Step NARCANON programs in our schools. The authorities need to crack down hard on the drug pushers who target

■ As a parent and community member of Byron Bay I would like Inspector Jago to explain to The Echo just what his expectations of youth dress codes in Byron Bay would be and how this equates to acceptable behaviour. To my mind, his comments are judgmental, inappropriate and smack of vested interest influence. I find it appalling that a police officer in his position

If the successful tender is accepted it comes back again to Council for evaluation and hopefully a report will go up to Council for either the March or April meeting.

Byron Bay ■ It is with much frustration that I write to The Echo in response to the people who feel compelled to vilify young people in our Shire, who depict teenagers as synonymous with ‘boofheads’ (Michele Grant: Letters, January 9). Young people are

now portrayed as endemically violent and vicious. ‘Youth’ it now seems is a deplorable condition that has befallen some unfortunate members of the community. But no-one yet has stopped to ask why there is a problem with certain youth. The sort of moral banishment of attributing these problems to being simply ‘unAustralian’ will not do. If the problem of youth violence is unAustralian, please tell me where in the world it occurs, if not this supposed beacon of moral righteousness that is Australia. No, this problem is brought about by socioeconomic problems in our community. Taking the approach of appointing more police (a

costly exercise on its own) and a stern top-down management strategy will not solve the problem. It will simply exacerbate feelings of resentment by youth towards authority and the supposed civil consciousness that has left them out in the cold. I am a 19 year old uni student and returning here I am reminded that New Years Eve is abysmal, there is very little employment and most youth projects are under funded and undertaken by the disinterested. Solve these social problems and violence levels will diminish, throw police and ill will at the problem and violence levels have nothing to do but escalate.

It has been our experience that childcare is a service that is needed in most areas, regardless of the social demographics.

Hat in the ring I have decided to nominate to stand this year for both the NSW and federal elections. We are calling on the Greens and the Democrats to work with us, and the hundreds of thousands of patriotic and pro freedom voters who are currently not represented by the parliaments. By doing this we may be able to unify enough to stand appropriate candidates, work together on polling booths and exchange preferences, so

that we the people hold the balance of power in all parliaments across Australia. Just how big that balance of power is, is up to you the people. NSW and federal elections only occur in the same year approximately every 12 years. Despite who we elect to represent us, whether local government, state or federal, it always seems to be a lose/lose instead of a win/win for the average person, you know, you and me, the members of the community. How is it that we have state parliaments controlled and dominated for so long by Labor and then in Canberra the Libs have total control? Apparently opposite political ideology, but we the people get the same outcome, we get shafted for their big picture (power) and looking after their mates. We the pro freedom parties and independents around Australia have been working on presenting a third option by forming a loose coalition of varying political understandings. We intend to meet on common ground, and acknowledge our differences in public, yet get on with the job of representing you the people your values, aspirations and concerns. Not the agendas of the corporations or corporate entities, the banks or the stock exchange, the mining

companies, oh and let’s not forget the media controllers and financial contributors to election campaigns. To achieve this end a number of grass roots apolitical organisations have been setting up working systems and models by which your voice, that is the collective voice of the people can be heard on all major issues and not just every three to four years: 1)The Foundation for National Renewal(www. national-renewal.org) supports the mechanism of Citizen Initiated Referendum (CIR) which would allow the people to initiate Constitutional change and then further on initiate legislative change by the people if they do not agree with actions of the Parliaments or the High Court of Australia. 2)The Autonomous Regions Coalition, who are promoting more regionally based governance, co-operation and management of local issues resolved locally and regionally by locals, not in some back room in Macquarie Street. 3)Real Democracy Byron Shire, who have developed an electronic voting platform via United People World Government (www.upworldgov. org) both locally created initiatives, to allow us to vote on local, state, federal, and even global issues.

We intend to support the principles and aims of these and other organisations as they will help remove the undue influence that political parties currently have. We must look to what we have in common with each other as people, not the colour of our skin, our religious or political perception, gender preference or state we live in. I hope The Echo will allow me further space next week to outline our platform for proactive change, with consensus in finding solutions to the many challenges that lie ahead for all people from local communities to the greater world community. [If you can keep it short, Nic, there won’t always be this much space once the silly season is over – Ed.] Last of all we accept the offer and challenge for political debate that John Howard has issued in regard to uranium mining and nuclear power. We issue a challenge back to the PM as we believe that after a healthy debate which would be best done via plebiscites and a bipartisan education program, focussing on the benefits and dangers of all potential energy sources. Then finally a vote by the people at referendum, so the people make this choice, not the same person who committed us to a war in Iraq based on information and ‘intelligence’, while at the

Tony’s story Thank you so much for the truly inspiring story of Tony Narracott (Echo, January 9). His attitude to life is awesome. Having witnessed family and friends dying, I have never steered away from the subject of death and it has been appreciated by everyone. Too often society wants us to hide the subject away, and so many people are shunned by those that love them simply because they themselves can’t cope with the diagnosis. Tony’s story is amazing and his attitude is brilliant. I wish him all the very best and may others be inspired by him. Andrea Hayman

Organic scam I am writing to alert readers to the ‘organic’ scam being pulled by some of our larger retailers, Woolies included. Over the last year or so more and more supposedly organic products have been appearing under the in-house brands labelled as Organic. One day I saw some ‘Organic’

labelled apple juice sitting on the shelves and not in the fridge. Wondering how it could keep on the shelf I read the label, ‘made from concentrate from organic apples’. Yes it is great that Woolies is supporting organic farmers, but to my mind, organic means real food, not reconstituted powder. This is the case with lots of Woolies Organic produce, where the initial ingredient may well be organic, but the preservatives and additives, the manufacturing processes, are not organic, even though they load up on the price to make you believe it is. Read the label, see if it is certified and if what you are paying that extra for because you want to eat well, is indeed organic. This kind of thing actually undermines the organic movement because while you pay more, think you are getting better food, you aren’t, and because it is the same processed junk as you get at BiLo it discourages you from seeking better food.

Letters and his government are launching their new $25 million national tobacco youth campaign. Why? What a bloody hypocrisy, if something so dangerous as tobacco kills 20,000 Aussies every year then why it is available in shops, supermarkets, pubs and clubs? Why aren’t there heroin dispenser machines as well as cigarettes? Instead of smoking kills, it could read, injecting kills, same thing. The dealers of death should be charged by the same court that condemned Saddam for crimes against humanity and dealt with accordingly. Oh silly me, then Mr Pyne and his cronies wouldn’t be able to spend $25 million of your smoke taxes on trying to convince the Australian public they care about our health.

surfing sub-culture in Sydney who tattoo their skin with their beach’s postcode to signal ownership of or their sole right to waves at that beach. In Sydney, at Maroubra, in particular this has developed into a kind of ‘surfing mafia’, with gangland overtones. Paralleled only by the ‘colour gangs’ in Sydney and the racial violence that erupted in Cronulla. If the graffiti at Ocean Shores is in fact a ‘tag’ of some kind, ie bloods, meaning ‘blood brothers’, then in view of what has happened recently at Brunswick Heads, ie drunken bashings and not just before Christmas, followed by the gang assault that took place just last week, then I think we need to be very aware of what is happening. I don’t think anybody wants the American-style ‘homeboy’ culture of violence that is happening in Sydney and other places to become part of our

lives here! If you are a parent I wonder if you are aware of the sort of cultural input your children are being exposed to, say through the electronic media and X-box, Playstation etc, for example, anyone who may have seen Grand Theft Auto and did not have alarm bells ringing must be living in cloud cuckoo land. I don’t think anyone in their right mind would call this ‘entertainment’. Similarly (another cultural ritual recently adopted from America) Halloween, which has become less than innocent with youths dressed in black roaming the street using it as an excuse to pelt houses and cars with eggs and flour-bombs, has darker overtones. We need to ask ourselves some big questions here, about which direction we want our culture to go. Whether we want to be colonised by an unquestioning,

violent and mindless American value system or whether we want to encourage our kids to have a vision for a better world. Tag gangs and surfing mafia are not a good look, the waves don’t break that way. Don’t buy into it guys, even if there is peer group pressure! Hold to your individuality as you hold to your love of surfing. I have surfed all my life (since the mid-sixties) and this mindless vandalism and violence has no part of surfing life. This is Byron Bay not New York, let’s not get confused. Ron Curran

Brief explanations of how it all works ■ In response to Jim Nutter’s letter of January 9 – I’m completely bemused by his view of atheism, science and Darwin’s discovery of evolution containing no religiosity or overt ‘meaning’. An atheist creates his or her own meaning from the observable universe. If Jim read David Lovejoy’s article and Dawkins’s writings a little more closely he should see that their atheism or what I would call ‘scientific atheism’ is not just another belief system. It is based on observable evidence, not on what might be or could be. In that respect atheism is the default position. Kevin Wright

Penrith ■ Thank you, David, for your article. In this time of the return of religious wars, religious propoganda and the apparent strengthening of many religions, including the Christian Right, it is heartening to see articles and books maintaining a sane, balanced, logical and scientifically proven stance. Pam Rose

Suffolk Park ■ God is Love. God is Truth.

If we all practise a little God we can realise who we really are and why we are here enjoying this amazing experience. As it is said ‘practice makes perfect’… hence our wonderful lives. Sol Millin

Mullumbimby ■ Rom 1:19-20. Since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. You, me our children, all things, where made for a reason and for a purpose, deep inside we know this, and why we tell our children like, can we really look upon a new born child and say there is no God? We are without excuse. We also see God’s workings in the laws which govern our universe – all the stars, planets, moons, every celestial body goes about its course in accordance with the laws of gravity and maybe some dynamic laws we know nothing or little

about. We see a law of sowing and reaping. We see this in our environment if we disrupt this harmony (break these laws) which governs our physical world we reap many harmful side effects. We have become in debt to these laws. Like the laws that govern our physical world, so are there laws which govern our moral and ethical world, we know intrinsically that we should not murder, steal, commit adultery, bare false witness, lie, etc. The Bible says even though we may not have been raised in these laws we do by nature the things contained in the law, these show the work of the law written on our hearts, our conscience also bearing witness to the fact. Rom 1:14-16. If we are honest with ourselves we will acknowledge that we have broken at least some of these laws if not by deed then by thought, we see the workings of this daily in our lives and the world. The order of the world around us shows that if we break a law we are in debt to it, to say otherwise would be to live in denial. How do we restore this harmony become debt free

to the law? You may try to be a better person, pray, fast, meditate, go to church feed the poor, but still be in debt, these things can be commendable but often only lead us to self righteousness (I’m not as bad as so and so because I do, or I’ve done, or I don’t do). Every person you, me whether priest, monk, saint, butcher and baker is in the very same predicament – bankrupt and in debt to the law. What must we do, how can we receive payment for our debts? We all have to go to the same person, one who is debt free one who can and has paid our debts in full, one who can stand in your place one who never broke the law on your behalf, one who lived perfectly by the law on your behalf, one who was able to place your debts upon himself and pay the ultimate price – death itself – on your behalf, putting to death your debts, by his life and death fulfilling God’s laws, his universal and just requirements. To borrow the headline from last week’s article on Tony Narracott – ‘If love could stop you dying’ – love can stop you dying an eternal death, for God so loved

the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. You must turn your faith and trust in yourself to put you in right standing with the law and God which only leads to self righteousness, and put your faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and what he has done to give us right standing before God and his just and perfect law. Paul Hamill

Bangalow ■ Fantastic to see Christian politicians like Tony Abbott and Kevin Rudd attempting to bring morality into politics, but I agree with some the criticisms of them. The problem is that many within religious traditions find it hard to conceive of a larger morality that stems from a universal spirituality. This spirituality was taught by many avatars such as Jesus, Mohammed and Buddha who all accessed the same Source. Could it be coincidence that the most aggressive cultures in the world, namely Christian, Jewish and Moslem, are all Abrahamic religions? I think not. The aggression stems from the

same ancient beliefs. The teachings of Jesus and Mohammed were not adhered to because they were embedded among the scriptures of those ancient beliefs, and they were called the Bible and the Koran. No wonder the world is confused. Do you take Jesus’s ‘Turn the other cheek’ and ‘Love thy neighbour’ or the ancient ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth’, and then massacre the innocents as portrayed in those scriptures? The avatars taught compassion and oneness, not judgement and separation. The old belief was in a judgmental and condemning God. Emulation of such qualities leads people to feelings of being right or superior. This supports a subtle authoritarian streak in our societies with all kinds of implications. I long for a much deeper and wider debate, for it is our most deep-seated beliefs that guide our thoughts and actions. If we are to advance as a society all sectors must join in. We are all in this together... interdependent! Hayo van der Woude

Comment

Youth violence – how a community can change it Kali Wendorf Children are not born bullies. They are made. The recent youth incident in Brunswick Heads is deeply disquieting, especially given the numbers of youth allegedly involved. While it is important that those young people are held accountable, we must also as a community and as private citizens take responsibility too. Children are the canaries in the societal coalmine and the symptom bearers of a society alarmingly out of synch with family – the effects of which will cost us all. Businesses, schools, churches, politicians, activists, and parents – we each play a direct role in how our children grow and develop. The violence displayed by our youth in Brunswick is not just the result of alcohol, but the culmination of many things. We would be wise to see this situation as an invitation to self-reflect. Businesses – did you know that parental absence results in increased depression, stress and violence in young people? So do you have mother- and fatherfriendly workplace policies such as flexible work hours and part-time alternatives? Are you sensitive to the unique needs of single mother employees? Will you even hire them? Are mothers freely allowed breastfeeding

breaks? Would you consider letting mothers be home by 3:30? As increasing economic stresses weigh on parents, they are forced to work more for less, and have less time with their children. If you are a grocer, video shop or convenience store, do you sell children the stimulant-laden energy drinks like Red Bull and Red Eye – marketed as the ‘legal alternative to cocaine’ by some companies? Such drinks have a remarkably negative effect on behaviour. Would you consider a voluntary restriction on the rental of MA movies to children under 16? Have you a candy-free checkout aisle? Schools – do you practise progressive non-violent gentle participatory discipline, or do you rely on coercion, shame and blame to keep children (and parents) in line? Do you have an active, inclusive and successful bullying strategy in place? How about soft drinks, junk food and other mood-altering substances in your canteen? Most processed foods today contain chemicals that promote depression, anxiety, learning disorders and violence in children (see ‘What’s Eating Them’ in current edition of Kindred magazine). And an addiction to soft drinks moves easily into oversweetened pre-mixed drinks at the bottle shop.

Churches / synagogues – in the name of love and God (and spare the rod…), do you condone spanking as do many Christian organisations? Do you perpetuate fear and separation by condemning those (or pitying them) who are not of your same beliefs? May women breastfeed at church? Breastfeeding ensures long-term health and emotional wellbeing. Are you aware of the negative long-term emotional implications of circumcision? Politicians – how high on your list are family-friendly policies? Do you plan to support children by simply cre-

ating more childcare places for them? Early childcare has been linked to increased stress levels, anxiety and violence in children. Consider paid maternity leave, and supporting family friend work policies. And what about that skate park you promised? Activists – when was the last time you hung out with someone else’s child just because they needed a friend? What are your attitudes towards kids – are they an opportunity or just one more person to over-populate the world? How we treat the child, the child will treat the world.

Parents – do you spank? Studies show that spanked children grow up to practise violence, either towards others or themselves. Do you have dinners together? Children who share meals with their family have better grades, higher self esteem and forge healthier relationships than those who don’t. Do you yell at them, shame and coerce them and each other? There’s a great free program around here called P5 that gives you some alternatives, call 6685-9344. How much time do your kids spend in front of a screen? The link between watching TV, playing TV and computer games and physical and psychological damage is neither a concoction nor an exaggeration. Are you aware of the negative behavioural impacts of all the chemicals they are consuming in those highly refined pre-packaged products you find in Woolies? Try locally grown, natural alternatives. And we have to ask the bottle shop owners – will you consider a voluntary restriction on the sweet premixed drinks? As reported in the Sydney Morning Herald, most teenagers cannot distinguish between milkbased alcoholic drinks and milkshakes, and most believe ready-to-drink beverages such as Vodka Mudshake and Bacardi Breezer are marketed

directly to them. The findings, reached in what researchers say is the world’s first study to measure the palatability of alcohol to teenagers and young adults, have led to calls for a ban on milkbased alcoholic drinks and a rethink on premixing vodka with soft drink. The National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre study involving 350 people aged 12 to 30 found the ready-to-drink or premixed alcoholic drinks were the most common first drink for teenagers. Many benefit economically from the demise of young people and families – from the food and drink that they sell, to the products and services they flaunt. But the economic costs of ignoring these issues will be borne by our community as tourism will be affected, and business eventually slowed down. So the question is not, ‘Can we afford to really do something?’ but ‘Can we afford not to?’ How much more must our young people act-out before we all take a hard look at our contribution? The solution must include the entire community. ■ Kali Wendorf is the editor of Kindred www.kindredmagazine.com.au (formerly byronchild magazine), a freelance writer, speaker, activist and a mum to two children.

How will the major parties support the ABC? Jenny Coman Friends of the ABC Friends of the ABC – both small and capital Fs – have three abiding concerns: the serious underfunding (as confirmed in the KPMG Report, still not released by the government) which so restricts what the ABC can do, notably in the area of locally produced drama; the (linked) threat to the ABC’s independence by the possible introduction of advertising

– which would also drive some of us mad; and the political nature of appointments to the Board, also the removal of the staff representative position. We feel confident of Green and Democrat support but both major parties have been known to treat the ABC badly in the past and so we felt we needed to know where Labor stands on each of the above. I obtained the following information from Shadow

Minister Stephen Conroy: • a Labor Government would restore adequate funding so that the ABC ‘is able to deliver the high quality news, current affairs and entertainment that Australians expect’. • Labor is completely opposed to any move to introduce advertising. • Labor would restore the position of staff-elected Director but any changes it will make to the method of

selecting Board members will not be announced until closer to the election. The ABC is an essential part of life for many of us and caters, as its charter dic-

tates, to a wide range of tastes. The recent axing of The Glass House came as a shock to its over 720,000 viewers and Mr Conroy noted in his comments that

‘the ABC should not be a plaything of the government and its acolytes’. We agree and wait to see this sentiment ensconced in written policy.

surely than anything else. It’s a great pleasure to watch people’s writing blossom.’ Those who want to continue crafting their writing can go on to do Levels 2, 3, 4 and 5. In the higher levels Sarah focuses on offering more technical skills. ‘We play with point of view, structure and how to re-write – with a particular focus on the short story,’ she says. ‘I also offer more constructive critical feedback in the higher levels and students are encouraged to go away and work on a piece and bring it back to the class. ‘One of the first classes I ever taught a few years ago simply refused to stop when the six weeks finished. We’ve been meeting every Thursday evening since then – we eat soup and they write. Some of the group are working on big projects – novels, a memoir – and others come simply because they love to write. ‘Everyone is welcome in my classes, whether they simply enjoy putting words on paper or are working on a big

project and aim to be published. I particularly welcome beginners and unconfident writers. Everyone seems to feel at least a little nervous the first class. ‘I’ve been running weekly writing classes for a couple of years now and find the social aspect of teaching a great complement to writing which is very solitary. At the moment, though, I am enjoying a very un-solitary writing experience. I’m collaborating on a novel with local writer Alan Close. ‘I had imagined it might be tricky, agreeing on questions of plot or character but so far (and we’re only at first draft stage) it’s really fun and wonderfully energising to be cocreating a story. I’ve also got my own second novel ticking along nicely – I’m just finishing the first draft.’ As if she hasn’t enough to do, Sarah will be joining with local yoga and improvisation teacher Kathryn Riding to present their third week-long writing, yoga and improvisation retreat in Ubud, Bali, in May, with a second one in

September immediately before the Ubud Writers Festival. They’ve added a surcharge to the retreat cost to pay to Greenfleet to offset the carbon emissions from the participants’ flights to Bali. Sarah worked at the ABC, where she won a Walkley Award, before moving to Huonbrook Valley in 1997 which was the inspiration for my first novel Salt Rain (Allen & Unwin), shortlisted for the 2005 Miles Franklin, Qld Premier’s and Dobbie Awards. Salt Rain was published in North America last year. Sarah is also a double winner of the annual Nicholas Shand Beach Hotel Short Story Competition. ‘I have to say that winning the first one, with the first short story I’d ever written since school, gave me the confidence to keep going with Salt Rain,’ says Sarah. Enquiries about the writing classes can be made to 6684 6897, 0414 228 563, or sarah@sarah-armstrong. com. See Sarah’s website at www.sarah-armstrong.com.

Healthy weight the key to avoiding chronic disease Maintaining a healthy weight has emerged as the most important factor for Australian women in avoiding chronic diseases such as vascular disease, diabetes and asthma, according to researchers from two Australian universities. The findings come from a report released today by the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health based at the University of Newcastle and The University of Queensland and funded by the Australian Government’s Department of Health and Ageing. The study – also known as Women’s Health Australia – is the largest of its kind ever conducted in Australia. Professor Julie Byles from the University of Newcas-

tle’s Priority Research Centre for Gender, Health and Ageing, said the report comprehensively assessed the health of over 30,000 Australian women in three age groups over a ten year period from 1996 to 2006. ‘The report found that being overweight or obese was more consistently associated with chronic illness than smoking, alcohol use, or education,’ said Professor Byles in a press release. Professor Annette Dobson from UQ’s School of Population Health said the findings show that across all age groups, being overweight or obese was consistently linked to heart disease, hypertension, osteoporosis, diabetes, asthma and arthritis.

‘In light of the increasing weight of women across all age groups, weight gain clearly poses a major threat to the health of Australian women,’ said Professor Dobson. Further findings indicated that less than two in five younger women taking part in the study ate two or more pieces of fruit per day, the amount recommended by the National ‘Go for 2&5’ campaign. In contrast, more than half of the women in the mid-age category ate the recommended amount. Although the study revealed very few differences in health across urban, rural and remote areas there was a much higher prevalence of diabetes in young women

living in small rural centres. Professors Byles and Dobson said other results from the study revealed that smoking, as expected, is related to an increased risk of chronic disease. However the proportion of women smoking in the younger age group is decreasing over time. In addition, in all age groups, being physically active provided some protection from chronic disease. The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health is designed to run for twenty years and has now completed its first decade. More about the study can be found online at www. alswh.org.au.

Articles John Campbell deals with the challenges which beset men of a certain age

Caught between two stools on postal etiquette

I’

ve been buying stamps from Bill and Margaret at Mullum Post Office for ages now. They’re old school. Friendly and helpful, they don’t get flustered and they never act like they’re doing you a favour. And as for Bill’s toting-up the charges – well, he’s Eric Clapton on a calculator. What I had to do to them felt a bit icky and I am pleased to have found a way around the problem. As a matter of course these days, men of a certain age are contacted by different government bodies to take part in various surveys. I do them all assiduously. To me there is nothing better than a comprehensive questionnaire to complete. It makes me feel important, which, to somebody with as voracious an ego as mine, is essential. As often as not I deliberately mislead. ‘Oh, the tragedy of the wannabe anarchist whose time has past.’ Cat Carer baits me, but I’ve got a job for her, so I let it pass. I’m the only person I know who watches intently as the flight attendant does her safety routine before take-off, fearful of hurting her feelings

if I ignore her like everybody else.

Something else to worry about. We’re at CafĂŠ Narcissus. Lack of sleep and the sight of Cat Carer’s plate is getting to me.

Last week I got a curious package from the Department of Health and judging by the trepidation in the eyes of my contemporaries in Burringbar Street, plenty of other blokes did too. It was a kit meant to help them monitor the incidence of bowel cancer among mature aged males. I figure it was contrived by a woman as payback for the pap smear. They wanted me to take samples of my own stools. The procedure was illus-

on back to school

More than 900 young truck drivers throughout Australia have registered to enhance the image of their profession as skilled and safe drivers on Australian highways and roads. The young truck drivers from all States and Territories have joined the national campaign to demonstrate their driving abilities and knowledge and to find who is the ‘most skilled and safest young truck driver in Australia’. The initiative, backed by the Australian Trucking Association and Scania Australia, in conjunction with Shell, Continental Tyres, National Transport Insurance, MaxiTRANS and Fleetmark, comes as new safety measures on driver fatigue are being considered by state and federal transport ministers to reduce the limits on standard driving hours to 12 hours total work/drive

time. The ministers will vote on the fatigue proposal on February 14. Fatigue is one of the biggest risks truck drivers face on the roads each day, with one estimate putting the cost of heavy vehicle fatigue related crashes at $300 million a year. Some research shows that drivers with less than six hours sleep are 2.5 times more likely to nod off at the wheel. The trucking industry is working to reduce the number of fatigue related crashes for professional truck drivers, with the average driver covering around 197,000 kilometres a year. The Young Australian Truck Driver competition is a key part of the industry’s progress toward safer driving. The proposed new National Transport Commission fatigue package seeks to reduce the standard driv-

ing hours from 14 hours to 12 hours total work/drive time a day in a bid for drivers to work ‘safer, not fewer hours’. The five-month national skilled truck driver campaign – Young Australian Truck Driver – aims to promote safer driving by truck drivers, enhance their images on the road and to also attract more young drivers to the industry because of the looming national shortage of skilled drivers. The competition will see the winner drive away in a $220,000 Scania P420 Prime Mover. Drivers wishing to take part in the Young Australian Truck Driver campaign still have time to register at www. yatd.com.au, or through entry forms at transport companies throughout Australia, as well as all the participating partners’ outlets.

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society’s Operation Leviathan is under way to stop the Japanese whaling fleets’ illegal slaughter of over a thousand whales. With its newly acquired ship named the M/ Y Robert Hunter Sea Shepherd is on its way down to the Antarctic. The organisation’s flagship M/Y Farley Mowat is expected to rendezvous with the organization’s faster ship Robert Hunter, pictured right. The two ships with over 60 international volunteer crewmembers, a helicopter, and numerous smaller vessels will confront the Japanese whalers on the high seas. The volunteers represent 13 nations with crewmembers from Australia, Bermuda, Brazil, Canada, Chile, France, Germany, Hungary, Great Britain, Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States. The latest Sea Shepherd vessel is named after Canadian Robert Hunter, who along with Captain Paul Watson was a co-founder of the Greenpeace Foundation. Bob Hunter died in May 2005 and at his funeral Captain Watson pledged to name a ship in his honour. Robert Hunter’s daughter Emily Hunter has joined the ship’s crew for the campaign to

defend whales in Antarctica. ‘Bob and I were in the very first inflatable that blocked the harpoons of the whalers in 1975,’ said Captain Watson. ‘He was my shipmate from 1971 onward with Greenpeace and later joined me on many Sea Shepherd campaigns. With this ship, he continues to be by my side in spirit and together we continue to defend life in the oceans.’ The Japanese whaling fleet is determined to illegally slaughter more than 1,000 whales in the Antarctic Whale Sanctuary. Japan has doubled its illegal quota of piked (Minke) whales to just over 1,000, and will be targeting endangered fin whales, and for the first time since the early eighties, 50 endangered humpback whales. ‘Sea Shepherd is the only organi-

zation in the world willing to go to the Antarctic to intercept the Japanese whaling fleet and shut them down,’ said Captain Paul Watson. ‘This is an international effort to uphold international law against a pirate whaling operation. ‘Thousands of Australian supporters have joined the Society in our fight to save the whales. Among them, advertising guru John Singleton and Bluetongue Brewery are supporting the campaign through the launch of their website www.whalesafebeer. com . ‘The Farley Mowat flew the flag of Fremantle, Western Australia, when the ship departed. The flag had been given to the ship by Fremantle Mayor Peter Tagliaferri with the request that we fly it in the Southern Oceans.’

E N T E R TA I N M E N T than I was... I thought even if Osho didn’t open me to a God I found out through her that there was one.

DEVA PREMAL ENTERED THE WORLD TO THE SOUND OF HER FATHER SINGING AN ANCIENT CHANT. LATE LAST YEAR SHE SAT AT HER FATHER’S BEDSIDE SINGING THE SAME CHANT AS HE TOOK HIS FINAL BREATH. ‘THE CIRCLE IS COMPLETE,’ PREMAL SAYS. NATALIE GUY AT THE OPENING OF THE BLUE BIRDY AT THE BUDDHA BAR ON WEDNESDAY

SOAPBOX 22 GIVEAWAYS 22 LIVE MUSIC 23 THEATRE, ARTS, COMEDY 25 INTERVIEW BKB 26 DANCIN 26 WHATS HOT 27 STARS 27 GIG GUIDE 28 CINEMA 29 EATING OUT 30

As a young woman Deva Premal had a fairly simple goal, ‘My intention deep down was to meet a guy I could work with and travel with.’ She got exactly what she asked for and a little bit more. ‘It happned naturally. I loved Miten’s music.’

The chant, the Gayatri mantra was made famous by Cher during her 2004-2005 farewell tour after she became hooked on the haunting strains of Premal’s and partner Miten’s recorded version.

But the two didn’t team up and start performing mantras immediately. It was born out of a creative and personal journey together. Premal remembers that initially Miten was unsure whether the two would even meld artistically.

Premal reflects,’We got a call from Cher saying she wants to record it and it was part of her tour. There were like 18,000 people – it was amazing hearing my mantra being sung – she used all our music and our arrangement and everything – we just had tears in our eyes, it was an amazing moment.’

‘I came from such a classical background, I wasn’t a singer. I could hold a tune. It was my apprenticeship to be in his service to sing. I could play for a meditation every night. You don’t have to worry about people judging your performance, but you have to make sure that every note enhances their meditation, you can feel every nuance of ego.’

Connecting people through song is what Deva Premal and Miten have been about for the past 15 years, and wherever they go, thousands flock to be touched by the magic of their mantras. They are an unlikely couple who met in an unlikely place and in an unlikely way found the music that has brought them their unlikely success.

And then, they found it. The raison d’etre for a deeper creative and spiritual relationship. Miten recalls, ‘About 5 years after she was singing with me she rediscovered the mantras she’d grown up with. When she started to discover these mantras she would sing them and everyone would be touched. We look at it as some kind of gift that we were meant to be doing what we were doing.

Miten was a muso who’d made it big during the 70’s, opening for Fleetwood Mac, Ry Cooder, Randy Newman, Hall and Oates and Lou Reed. After a spiritual awakening he found himself at Camp Osho in Poona as one of the featured musicians in the ashram. It was here that he met Deva, some 22 years his junior. Until she met Miten, Deva was walking a very different path. ‘I was a body worker. I was studying massage, and reflexology and I needed a model to practise on and I knew Miten from sight...’ PAUL MANOSE PERFORMING FRIDAY HOUSE CONCERT @ 6 GOOLARA COURT OCEAN SHORES

Miten adds’ ‘Deva offered me a session – she was a 20 year old girl and I was 42. To be honest I was a bit shy for the first 5 minutes. The first hug we had she was so settled in herself that I realised she was an older soul

Premal and Miten describe their music as ‘an expression of spiritual devotion through song and chant.’ They have been living and playing together since 1991.

Miten continues, ‘Our music is born out of meditation and a celebration of life...

their undies, contemplating their next major work of genius. Sadly I never woke to genius. Every morning I’d be faced with a reminder of my own mediocrity. Oh I went to bed trembling with excitement, certain that I had written the next opus or painted my Mona Lisa, only to awake to a cross-eyed self portrait fashioned in lipstick and mascara on the carpet of my rented room. Yes, it took me places. Usually to new accommodation. I am

no longer a night person. With three children it’s pretty hard to keep your creative channels open until 4am and still be up for the 7am breakfast call. Having kids opened my eyes to things I never knew existed: like morning. I couldn’t believe that nestled on the corners of my dark night was this wonderful pearl like awakening. Wow. It was truly mind blowing to witness the soft smudgy beginnings of the day, the

morning dog walkers, the joggers, the birds, the wet grass. I had no idea. I am now very much a morning person. In fact, I haven’t slept past 6.30am for over 10 years. And I would argue that morning people are in fact very creative. We just don’t have the time.

I often find myself driving back from gigs at 2 in the morning. I’ll search for an ABC talk back to keep me awake and I am amazed by the number of callers, still up and pottering around in the wee hours. These are people still up for a quiz or a chat many of them elderly, as alert and awake as a 21 year old on crystal meth. According to a recent study, night people are more creative than morning people. I used to be a night person. I’d be up till 3 in the morning wandering around with a paintbrush, labouring over my journal’s secret scribblings, listening to Nirvana... But I was 26 and I was probably stoned. Sure, I was creative, but the work was shit. Having once been a night stalker, I know the attraction. There is an incredible quiet, a universal ambience, that just seeps through your pores – a desire to connect and communicate. To translate that euphoric melancholy that exists in the dark silences into something tangible. I reckon Vincent Van Gogh was a night guy. And Basquiat. And Whiteley.

LUCIANO Luciano is one of the greatest cultural artists of his generation. Not only is he consummate songwriter, a wonderful singer but also a spellbinding live performer. As the Messenger he is an emissary whose work contains important teachings for humanity and who peacefully strives for the betterment of society. His songs have the power to touch the soulandto uplift our hearts. Jamaican reggae music hasn’t produced such a well-oved figurehead since the days of Bob Marley. Luciano started singing in church before moving to Kingston and cutting a series of recordings for a number of producers and indie labels. It wasn’t until Luciano teamed with Burrell in 1993 that his career truly kicked off, first with singles and then with consistently fine albums. He plays the Hotel Great Northern on Saturday.

SEASON PASSES ALMOST GONE Don’t leave it to the last minute. According to Bluesfest Director, Peter Noble, they are almost out of 3 and 5 day season tickets and envisage that there could be as little as 2 weeks of tix left. The second artist announcement has got punters excited and it looks like this Easter’s Blues event will be a sell out. Paul Kelly, Eric Burdon and the Animals, Kaki King, Arrested Development, Alice Russell. They’ll be joining Ben Harper, Wolfmother, bonnie Raitt, Bo Didley, Fat Freddy’s Drop and more, check the website: www.bluesfest.com

THE GREAT RAGING WITH RAGA Manose has achieved technical mastery on his flute. From the demanding study of raga music, Manose has acquired an astonishing ability to improvise. He draws inspiration from wherever he finds it, from the swaying sweetness of a samba, or the lightning fast lines of Celtic masters. Manose has released four solo CDs and is evermore popular as a contributing artists for work by everyone from Deva Premal and Grammy-nominated Jai Uttal to bluegrass great, Peter Rowan. He performs a very

THIS IS DEADLY FUN Don’t miss the rockin funky roots and reggae line up at Coorabell Hall on Saturday. Headlined by Banawarun (previously known as Troy n’ Trevelyn – winner of the last year’s Deadly ‘Band of the Year’ award), and biggest splash at this Woodford Folk Festival. Also on the bill is the legendary island jazz reggae man, Tommee (of Tommee and the Neighborhood) with his new album, Get on So Well and US folk blues rock artist Beth Preston (whose voice you may recognise from Xavier Rudd’s Messages).

THE KING AINT’ DEAD, HE’S AT THE GREAT NORTHERN Tuesday 23 January sees New Zealand’s King Kapisi and Mission Ignition hit the Hotel Great Northern. Both acts are scheduled to play the Big Day Out this year. This performance is happening between the Gold Coast and Sydney BDO, so both acts will be supercharged. Kapisi is at the top of the New Zealand Hip Hop game and the last time he played in Byron was with the Resin Dogs a couple of years ago. He headlined the Pasifika Festival in Brisbane with Blue King Brown last March and is truly a dynamite performer. He also played the first Splendour in the Grass and blew people away. Hip hop runs through his synapses, linking the cultural threads like Tetris pieces and spitting out knowledge with every verse, every utterance representing hip hop truth. As for Mission Ignition, the crew are fully live and on fire at present after rocking the masses at the Beats on the Beach Festival on New Year’s Day. Later in the evening they’ll be joined by Del Larkin spinning tunes and dropping a rhyme or two.

ROCK THE GLASSHOUSE GLASSHOUSE LAUNCH THEIR ‘TOUR OF MASS DISTRACTION’ Brisbane’s Glasshouse tackle the big themes – like industrialisation, globalisation, terrorism, commercialism, paranoia, corruption and romance. As Rolling Stone put it, ‘Forget flippant songs about girls and cars, glasshouse want to move you’. Glasshouse have barely drawn breath since their successful Restore Factory Settings tour of late 2006, and now they’re hitting the road again for their Tour of Mass Distraction. The tour, taking in metro and regional dates along the east coast in January and February, will showcase the Glasshouse philosophy. Which is less about mere perfomance than an entire experience – where passion and precision meet the unpredictability of rock and roll, with all its glamour, sex and excess. The band plays the Hotel Great Northern on Wednesday 24 January.

OPEN SEASON FOR THE BLUE BIRDY This Wednesday sees the opening of The Blue Birdy at the Buddha Bar. A funky new venue dedicated to bringing music of the hottest kind to Byron Bay. The opening night features some of Australia’s most acclaimed musicians including, Natalie Gay, David Ades, Greg Sheehan, Jim Kelly, Thierry Fossemalle, Mitch Carey, Sharney Russell, Di Horder, Matt Smith, Connor Fitzgerald, Angela Biason, Dave Sanders and more. Finally a venue that supports creative and adventurous music in a club run by musicians for musicians. Tix at the door from 7.30pm.

FIND YOUR MOAN Ask a Feramones fan about the band and they’ll say: ‘the most fun you can have standing up. They are fantastic.’ They do everything that everyone wants to hear. Your favourite stuff from every decade and the covers are better than the original. For example, Hotel California like you’ve never heard it before. Even I’m getting goosebumps. They play the Beach Hotel on Friday.

Resplendent colour splashbacks

Recover & replenish @ the juice bar

Confused about Vetrocolor and painted splashbacks? It’s a special two pack applied to the back of glass, giving you a finish like a solid colour mirror. It can be applied over existing tiles in most situations with no grout lines, and it enhances and colour coordinates your decor. In bathrooms and spa/sauna rooms, it doesn’t allow water egress to the substrata thus eliminating extensive damage to the rest of the house.

Since 1999 the Juice Bar has been providing locals and visitors with delicious healthy world-class juices and smoothies. The Juice Bar has always been about quality – a quality product and quality service. Enjoy a delicious healthy juice or smoothie, experience the low-fat gelatin-free gourmet yoghurt made with real fruit and honey, try some fresh fruit salad and muesli too. Have a fresh wheatgrass juice to cleanse and purify your body and to give you more energy the smoothies are made with natural real fruits, dairyfree, sorbet-free, just full of natural healthy goodness.

Vetrocolor’s appeal is enhanced with the added protection of Diamond Fusion, a process which gives a hard coating to glass, providing resistance to harsh chemicals (around pool glass) and has myriad other applications where a quick ‘wipe over’ replaces repetitive cleaning.

So go to the Juice Bar and experience the good taste of health. Locals get free wheatgrass shots with every medium or large. Plus, receive your tenth juice free!

COMEDY A VERY FUNNY BREAKFAST The Big Joke Comedy Festival is only a few weeks away, so start making plans – you don’t want to be the only vagrant in the village who missed out on having a laugh. The festival features three major headline events with Tripping Out featuring Dave Callan, Jonathon Atherton and Greg Fleet grappling with those curly global travel issues on Friday 9 Feb, Fiona O’Loughlin letting loose with her women’s wisdom on Saturday 10 Feb and Sunday’s feature Scared Weird Little Guys, reminding you why they are one of the most longstanding popular acts on the circuit. All these events take place at the Bangalow A&I Hall, the hub of the festival. The festival really has something on offer for everyone. With comedy comp Village Idiot running at the Urban on Saturday and Sunday for free, and a free hour session Saturday morning of Laughter Yoga – the Big Joke aims to share the laughter. For those not inclined towards the feature gigs, we have Funny Kids at the Bangalow RSL on Saturday at 11am and the Village Idiot Grand Final on Sunday at 3pm. Sunday morning kicks off with a breakfast on the verandahs of Fresca at the Bangalow Hotel. For $30 you get a full hot breakfast, coffee and juice and a feature show by our most Easterly Indian, Sandy Gandhi and David Eastgate. Sandy has developed quite a following, in fact, some may come close to calling it a cult.

It’s her quick wit that people are drawn to and her ability to find the loophole within the loophole. She’s one tough lady, a guru for the Everyman. She is joined by Dave Eastgate – a musical comic from Brisbane who has won numerous prizes, and even once took out a first prize on Red Faces! Bookings/ticket purchase are essential for this event as seating is strictly limited. Tickets are available at Fresca, The Urban or Obsession. All programming Big Joke Comedy Festival enquiries to 6687 2956 / 6684 3443 or email bangalowbigjoke@gmail.com.

Bronywn Kidd can certainly take much of the credit. Bronywn’s love of the genre has seen her create a festival by going out and sourcing at other film festivals all over the world. In doing this she has built up an elaborate network of contacts with other festivals and most importantly film makers who are eager to ensure their works make it to this festival every year. Running 8.30pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday this is the first location for the festival as it goes on its national tour after 10 days at the Bondi Pavilion.

ART INTIMATE ENCOUNTERS Belinda Mason-Lovering has collaborated with people with physical, intellectual, learning, psychiatric and neurological disabilities, to consider a somewhat taboo topic in our society – love, sexuality and disability. The exhibition challenges the hidden norms about what is ‘sexy’ and who among us is allowed to feel that way. The people who have collaborated in this photographic essay are all extraordinary. Some are well known for their various achievements. The work explores the myriad of connections between disability, sexuality and body image. It challenges the myth in our society that only the most glamorous, attractive and successful among us lead active, healthy and imaginative sexual lives. It’s a truly beautiful and

South Wales Border Region gathered at the gallery for the official opening of the Art Prize. Second Prize went to Hobie Porter of Uki for his surreal oil painting ‘Bifurcation’, depicting a budding sphere made of bottle tops hovering in mid air amidst a gloomy landscape. Third Prize, worth $500 was given to Linelle Stepto of Burringbar for her unusual sculpture ‘Colonise(2’ resembling sprigs of native flora made of cured Cane Toad skin. According to Anne Schardin, Acting Director of the Gallery, ‘The winning works are outstanding examples of artistic excellence both in terms of the creative process that gave birth to the idea and the technical prowess exhibited in the realisation of that idea’. This impressive exhibition at the Tweed River Art Gallery continues until 28 January.

Blue King Brown point when you start thinking strategically for a band. We have learnt a lot and are learning a lot along the way. We have some great friends in the industry and we are definitely starting to think about having a year projected. It helps to have goals... our goal is to get overseas.’ Most bands would find this a bit of a daunting task. But Natalie and Carlo’s years of global busking stand them in good stead. When it comes to getting gigs, these guys know how to hussle. Blue King Brown have a star suddenly on the rise. Natalie and Carlo, our high profile buskers who have shared the stage with names like Franti, Butler and Rudd packed up their instruments and headed south to Melbourne. Turns out it was the best move they could have made. They’ve had huge Triple J play, and are headling festivals around the country. After a massive

few shows at Woodford, Blue King Brown headed down to the Falls Festival and then to WA. I managed to grab a quick chat with Natalie, roadside, the day after their gig in Forster. ‘We have had a great momentum and we work really hard at that. Carlo doesn’t stop – I have to

literally drag him off the computer just to go to bed... making sure that we are doing the right stuff at the right time, making sure that more and more people see us and we build a bigger following. Festivals are a great way to build an instant fan base. ‘2007 is going to be different for the band. ‘There comes a

dancin Phil K is one of Australia’s best known DJ’s and in recent years has won the coveted Australian Dance Music Awards “Best DJ,” “Best Radio Show,” and “Lifetime Achievement” award. After purchasing his first turntable in 1984, Phil has risen through the ranks and soon found himself supporting various acts from Kraftwerk to Sasha and devastating crowds at festivals such as Glastonbury, Sonar, and Big Day Out. He appeals to all lovers of dance music and without a doubt rocks the dancefloor. Crossing all genres from House, Electro Rock and Breaks, Phil K has been DJing throughout Europe and Asia and is now bringing back the good vibes to Byron Bay. What’s been happening for you in the last year? Well I have been on tour for nearly 2 years and in that time I’ve had an artist album released with Luke Chable for global underground as Lostep titled because we can. I’ve also played at places such as Fabric, numerous times, Sonar music festival in Spain (first Australian ever to be invited), the infamous Glastonbury in the UK amongst others and have crossed the globe countless times, you could say I’ve been rather busy. Who are you digging in the Aussie music scene? To be honest I haven’t been following the scene that much but I will be now that I’m back. I’m really looking forward to seeing what’s up band wise but dance wise, apart for the usual suspects I’m really into anything those Canberra lads Vance Musgrove and Mikah

PHIL K Freeman are doing as well as DJ Ben Korbel. I’m sure there are many others but being so far away makes it difficult to gauge, I can’t wait to get out and find more! You’ve played a lot in Asia, what’s it like doing gigs over there? I’ve been playing Asia for years now and it’s quite different from anywhere else. All the Asian countries vary and are at different stages

of development musically but they all rock in their own ways. I have had a lot of success there, places like China can be a challenge because you have to forget what you know and start at the beginning. For example you can walk into a club that’s playing R’n’B and think you’re going to have the worst night of your life and end up having the best gig ever and then you can walk into a house club which looks as if it’s right up your street and have the worst night. I love playing in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and Thailand.

‘Carl and I used to just go to Europe and do that – it’s just a matter of having the contacts – it seems like such a big thing, but it’s the same principle as doing it here.’ But back then there was just the two of them, with a band that now numbers 7, the two have a family to feed. ‘It’s like you’ve got six kids

– we’re parents! We have a really great band – it’s really balanced – we have added two backing singers – it’s a party. We have a lot of new material, and we put together a bit more of a show, I guess you could say we stepped it up a level.’ When you go from performing to 300 to 10,000 that’s an important thing to do. The strength of Blue King Brown is that they connect with their audiences, both big and small. ‘The audience has to be having an awesome time. That’s what is so cool about doing some of the gigs we are doing now. With our type of music it’s easy to connect. It’s danceable and there’s lots of percussion.’ Amidst their busy schedule, Natalie and Carlo still find time to participate in Steve Berry’s Outback initiative. ‘We go out for a week every term.

Songs like our first big single Water was written from being out there. We feel we are very lucky to be able to do it and love that the kids have such a great time. Steve’s whole idea is using music to help the kids with literacy and numeracy, putting story into song and supporting communitites to get together and play music together and encourage people to sing in their language.’ The Thursday 18 January gig sees the band return to Bangalow for the first local hall gig in a long time. ‘We are really looking forward to playing and because it’s a hall gig, younger kids can come and we can have a real family vibe.

I create my own video clips for music I like, burn it to a DVD and then instead of just playing the audio, I can also play the visuals I have chosen for that particular piece of music. If you get enough clips together, you can have an audio visual show! It takes alot of preparation as you can imagine but performing isn’t that much different to DJing. What production stuff is in the pipeline? I have a track I have sung on to finish off, a mix for Hybrin featuring Perry Farrel which I’m working on and a new hi fi bugs single to be released early 2007. I’m sure I’ll be working on more records than ever this year! In 2006 I pretty much took a year off from production so now I’m recharged and ready to go! MP3’s or Vinyl, what’s your view? What’s vinyl? Oh you mean that housefull of once expensive plastic I have gathering dust... What can we expect at your gig in Byron? Good times , good tunes...

This diligent, practical, taking care of business week’s excellent for tying off loose ends and locking in career plans or financial strategies – all worth doing before next week’s tearaway Aquarian energy kicks in‌ ARIES: If it’s all been feeling a bit much lately and you’re losing steam on a current project, astral help is at hand with your planetary main man Mars marching into Capricorn this week – a move guaranteed to reboot your motivation, determination and staying power. TAURUS: Choose tasks this week that can be accomplished in a given time, rather than enormous open ended projects that deprive you of a sense of fulfillment. Be cautious about responding to what could turn out to be unrewarding challenges. GEMINI: This week definitely has auspicious business/ career/ finance potential so why waste it? If people aren’t being as immediately helpful as you’d like, be lateral and

praise them – which often tends to change someone’s attitude dramatically. CANCER: This week’s about as good as it gets for paying bills, making appointments and follow up phone calls, signing contracts or house hunting. Sound stultifyingly dull? No way, Crabsters – once you get stuck into it there’s surprises galore‌ LEO: Things are moving so fast that what you thought you wanted – big time – may have already changed. Check out this week whether what you’re putting so much energy into is still what’s really likely to make you happy at this stage of the game. VIRGO: Don’t for heaven’s sake let yourself fall into goit-alone, grim determination mode this week. Forget all that masochistic no pain/no gain, life wasn’t meant to be easy rot. Friends and contacts have heaps of labour-saving advice and unexpected leads for you. LIBRA: Librans feel unfairness keenly, and anyone trying to take advantage this week is in for a surprise. Because

when the chips are down your Mr/Ms Nice Guy/Goddess persona peels off to reveal, yes – SuperLibra of the steely glance and immovable stance. SCORPIO: Thoughts of the past could be on your mind because a similar situation’s repeating itself – for a final replay if you choose, because this week offers an auspicious window of opportunity for completing something that’s been going on for a very long time.

SAGITTARIUS: New plans and ideas are singing their siren song – but old ones need finalising first before you can make a start. This is the year’s auspicious Week of Completion for tying off loose ends and taking care of unfinished business.

AQUARIUS: If others are dubious about your latest inspirations, no way are you likely to be swayed from them this week – not yet anyway. But these are the last down to earth days before next week’s extreme Aquarianism, so you might want to at least listen.

CAPRICORN: As the Sun leaves your sign this week, Mars marches in to recharge your energy – along with your tendency to overdo it. Your stars say don’t. As in don’t forget you need regular R&R. And don’t ignore health warnings – get them checked.

PISCES: The good news is this week’s astral energies are reliable and dependable – qualities which are likely to be in high demand and short supply by next week, so it’s worthwhile getting material world, basic bits out of the way while the force is with you.

movie reviews s

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS You can rely on Hollywood to come to the party when proponents of the great American dream are needed to buff its tarnished image. Just in case you were doubting, money can indeed buy happiness. At least that is the lesson of this syrupy, rags to riches, father and son feelgood movie. Chris (Will Smith) is struggling to sell a truckload of medical gizmos that he has sunk his life savings into. The business is bombing, the rent’s overdue, his wife bails and he gets thrown in the slammer for overdue parking fines on the night before he needs to get to a job interview that he sees as (to quote Benny Elias) the carrot at the end of the rainbow. He’s broke and he’s got a cute little

boy in tow as he he drags his diminishing chattels from hotel to motel to doss house to subway dunny. Chris can’t take a trick but he never gives up, because to give up will make him a loser like all the others at the soup kitchen. Thankfully, the race card is not played and Chris and the buttered up audience do not have to contend with discrimination among his myriad setbacks. Could he have coped with yet another? Could any of us? Probably, for Smith plasters over the enshrinement of one-upmanship and covetousness with oodles of charm and pathos and finds a cheering rapport with the preposterously named Jaden Christopher Syre Smith, his actual son. A homage to the buck. John Campbell

FAVO U R I T E M OV I E Q U OTAT I O N Atticus Finch: I remember when my daddy gave me that gun. He told me that I should never point it at anything in the house; and that he’d rather I’d shoot at tin cans in the backyard. But he said that sooner or later he supposed the temptation to go after birds would be too much, and that I could shoot all the blue jays I wanted – if I could hit ‘em; but to remember it was a sin to kill a mockingbird. Well, I reckon because mockingbirds don’t do anything but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat people’s gardens, don’t nest in the corncrib, they don’t do one thing but just sing their hearts out for us "6 ĂŠ ĂŠĂˆĂˆnäĂŠnxxx

AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH Al Gore, the man who ‘used to be the next president of the United States’, gives a powerhouse performance in this wakeup call to the world. Based on Gore’s Global Warming Powerpoint presentation that he’s been screening in cities worldwide since 2000, this movie gives us the big stats on the bad stuff we’re doing to the planet, combined with dynamite visuals and a personal story. Gore’s now infamous election loss to ‘Dubya’, his son’s near-fatal accident and his sister’s death are woven (somewhat manipulatively) through the scientific data, humanising Gore and making us wonder

what could have been had he become US President. The film presents a startling insight into the side-effects of global warming – loss of glaciers, species extinction, new diseases – and a horrifying visual projection of the rate of rising seas if we continue on our present path of carbon emissions. It’s a seductive, exciting, suspenseful piece of filmmaking, but can a film move people to act and help change the world? I guess we’ll know in fifty years... when Bangalow is absolute beachfront. If you’re depressed about the state of the world, this movie charts a pathway to action. Take your kids. Maybe they’ll save us. Tristan Bancks

In the fire scene outside of Shrek’s house you see Papa Bear comforting Baby Bear... later, in Farquaad’s castle as he is watching the picture of Fiona on the mirror you see Mama Bear as a rug, skinned and laying on the floor. Her ultimate fate, however, seems to be ok. She re-appears during the Video & DVD Karaoke scene, dancing with Papa and Baby. Shrek

‘Glad to see you back on deck, Bitemark – quite literally,’ said Tosser Digby, as we sat on the deck of the Myocum clubhouse, admiring an eight foot python sunning itself in the grass far below. A duck, too, was observing the snake, from the safety of the henhouse roof, perched albeit perilously on the Byzantine cupola which formed its summit and which once had served to protect Emperor Constantine’s poultry from marauding basilisks. Readers may recall that I was indisposed last week and that Bizzy Lizzy, the club’s dominatrix-on-call, took care of the column for me. I am greatly indebted to Miss Lizzy for her efforts and have sent her a mauve Peugeot 207CC as a token of my appreciation. ‘Indeed, Digby, glad to be back among one’s chums,’ I said, as Sanders the butler delivered a plate of possum-and-cheese sandwiches to accompany our Veuve Cliquot Demi-Sec spritzers. ‘What was the essential part of your cure?’ asked Digby. ‘Was the Nigerian witchdoctor I recommended of much use?’

At this stage lunch arrived. Chef, perhaps in some act of preternatural prescience, had arranged the main course of Baby Scrub Turkey A L’Orange with Punished Asparagus in the shape of an octagram, the symbol of Chaos Magic. He later revealed, ‘It came to me in a gravy image upon the kitchen wall, and I felt compelled to make it in food.’

‘And to asparagus,’ interposed Abbotsleigh. ‘Where would a chap be without asparagus?’

‘I did not, though the temptation was there. Instead, I perused many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, as Mr Poe put it. Chiefly on magic, and shamanism, and here and there a mention of Potager’s Theorem.’

‘Indeed, Bitemark. With our thoughts we create the world, as the Tagathata Buddha allegedly said, and with our words we seek to magically direct it. The more thoughtful pieces in The Sport Shooters Gazette tend to emphasise the importance of intention and therein, I think, lies the potential effectiveness of magic, and of course whether or not one bags a grouse on the wing.’

‘Jolly good. And did you, like Robert Louis, send ships in fleets across your counterpane?’

‘Not so much a school as school’s out forever, as Mr Cooper has it. Chaos Magic, which arose out of the punk movement, proposes that no hierarchical belief system is necessary or one may impose a belief system of one’s own liking – say, a set of chakras based upon the characters in Star Trek – and abandon it on a whim a few days later. I was taken with its interest in sigilism, the making of marks with magical intent. It has some resonance with words, don’t you know.’

A most beautiful meal recently at one one one cafĂŠ in Byron Bay included what was lyrically described as ‘A Celebration of Silverbeet’. It arrived in two little dishes, one bearing a garlicky sautĂŠ of the leaves and the other a gratin of the stalks, creamy beneath a gruyere-enriched bechamel. And so too should silverbeet be celebrated! Erroneously referred to as spinach for a couple of decades, this leaf vegetable of the chard family was also largely ignored and regarded as dull and worthy by home cooks – unless they had travelled through Europe and been exposed to the imaginative variety of ways in which it may be prepared and served. I remember my discovery of ‘la bietola’ in Italy, rapidly becoming addicted to the leaves wilted and tossed quickly in olive oil which sizzled with garlic slivers and chilli: that and a basket of sturdy bread to dip and dunk was one of my notions of bliss. Gian Carlo’s mamma would make pastries in a snake-shaped coil whose main filling was silverbeet, the vibrant green of the vegetable visible through the delicate, thinly-rolledout dough; it was earthy Umbrian peasant fare, and utterly divine. Silverbeet is still substituted, though fortunately rarely confused, with spinach. They are both rich in folate, an excellent source of iron and available all year around. Spinach is less robust in flavour, however, and melts away to very little once heat is applied. Neither requires the ten minutes of rapid boiling which I am still amazed to read in recipes or to find practised in cafĂŠs and delis – all those lovely nutrients lost! The water left on the leaves after vigorous washing is the only thing required over a moderately hot heat in a pan, lid or no lid, and within minutes the leaves should have darkened and collapsed and be ready for the next stage. The stalks, on the other hand, do need longer cooking. Chef Laura at one one one told me that before folding the chopped stalks through the cheesey bechamel she simmers them in a bath of white wine and herbs. The stalks, to be sure, are often hurled wastefully away, when they should be treated like asparagus and endowed with as much respect. Cheese is the natural partner for silverbeet – as it is for spinach. Most people are familiar with the Greek pie Spanakopita, the green vegetable wilted, chopped and blended with fetta before being spooned into a buttery filo pastry casing. Stephanie Alexander’s version of this is one of the best around: she includes grated pecorino and ricotta as well. Unless grasshoppers have discovered your crop of silverbeet, of which they are especially fond, there are so many things you can do with it – all in the knowledge that it is highly nutritious, low in calories, and a great source of fibre and vitamins A and C (not to mention the folate and the iron). I love to throw in a bunch of the coarsely shredded leaves toward the final phases of my winter Minestrone. Or wilt it and squeeze it dry before adding it to a chickpea salad with chunks of roast pumpkin and couscous; or drizzle over it a simmer of soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil and a scattering of toasted sesame seeds. Make a cheesey polenta, press half of it in a baking dish and fill with a garlicky toss of silverbeet leaves and stems, top with the remaining polenta and bake until puffed and golden. Stuff a boned and butterflied leg of lamb with a mixture of slivered garlic, fetta and wilted silverbeet, tie it with string, rub it with salt and rosemary and roast until done. Serve a stir-fry of silverbeet – more garlic, naturally – on crostini with mashed, lemony cannellini beans; or with pinenuts, raisins, nutmeg and fresh parsley. Or whip up a Wild Green Pie: instead of the standard spinach and fetta filling, use a mix of silverbeet, watercress, curly endive and rocket, all softened in olive oil with a cup of green onions. Add chopped parsley, dill and mint, a little cinnamon and allspice, salt and pepper and fetta cheese then pile into 8 buttered sheets of filo pastry, top with 8 more buttered sheets, tuck in, trim, brush with butter then bake till golden and crispy. Your own Hortapita.

Joining the support staff, in what was a major coup for the Devils, is sprint coach Fred Turner, who is making a weekly trip down from his current posting with the Gold Coast Titans to contribute to the cause. Fred, a gold medalist at the Seniors’ Olympics, has been involved in football for over half a century and is excited by the attitude of the Bay’s squad, admitting that he wouldn’t be here doing the job if it weren’t for Vince. ‘His enthusiasm is sensa-

tional and you can feel the commitment that he’s already got from the boys.’ Nobody is getting carried away or making pie-in-thesky predictions, but Vince is adamant that he and everybody at the club will not bother setting for themselves anything but the highest goals. Unwilling to name individuals at this point – it’s the team that matters – Vince concedes that the addition to the squad of some hardened players from the Queensland Cup will be a great boost to the side. ‘Their experience alone is worth a lot to us. It’s an invaluable asset and it just wasn’t there last year.’ The comp doesn’t start until the week after Easter, but preceding it there will be a Sevens tournament at Coffs Harbour and a series of important trials against other Group One rivals. The hard work is being done and the vibe is undeniably positive.

Sports Roundup with John Campbell

The friend of my enemy is my enemy John Campbell When Great Brains like Phillip Adams indulge in selfexalting ridicule of benighted fools who enjoy games with bats and balls, they frequently refer to George Orwell’s contention that sport is like war minus the shooting. But isn’t that a good thing? Thousands of years of evolution would suggest that humankind is hard-wired for disputation and conflict. If so, and somewhere on the planet one mob will always be at loggerheads with another, isn’t the playing field a better venue for the clash than the battlefield? Glasgow for starters would be a charnel-house if Papists and Prods went for each other with knives and knuckle-dusters instead of saving their enmity for the metaphorical bloodletting of biannual Celtic v Rangers soccer matches. Like it or not, ideology, religion, ethnicity, race and anything else that simultaneously keeps people apart and binds them together goes hand in glove with sport. It’s all about identity, the juggernaught that politicians have forever latched onto for their own benefit. Contests are insipid without it. That’s why we keep score.

The Bombers’ number one supporter contemplates his next target.

Zealand acquaintance about the Ashes. ‘Yis, ut was un enti climex, wasn’t ut.’ Only a Kiwi could say that, in both senses. Personally, I still can’t wipe the smile off my face. All genuine fans – and I am not talking about those whose interest stretches only to polite dinner party conversations about Warnie, Beckham or Federer, but those of us for whom partisanship courses through the veins – all of us are non-negotiable when it comes to the moral rightness of our side’s cause. As the revered Liverpool manager Bill Shankly observed, ‘some people believe football is a matter of life and death. I can assure

you it is much more important than that.’ It’s an attitude that sometimes gets ugly, nobody can deny. Shankly’s own beloved Reds were involved in one of sport’s most shameful tragedies directly as a result of the obsession that so many of us are sustained by. At Heysel Stadium (Brussels) in the 1985 European Cup Final, Liverpool supporters breached a fence and charged their Juventus rivals. A wall collapsed and thirtynine people were killed. Appalling, inexcusably stupid, but it happened by accident, not design, like the US and us v Iraq. The same them-and-us mentality recently led officials in Bahrain to revoke the citi-

zenship of an athlete because he competed in Israel. Mushir Salim Jawher won the Tiberias marathon on January 4, but Bahrain does not recognise Israel. Fair enough. Australia cut sporting ties with South Africa in the fight against Apartheid (China can do what it likes, we’ll still be at Beijing with bells on), but the boycott’s impact might be overstated. For political reasons, the Americans didn’t turn up at the 1980 Moscow Olympics and the Russians returned serve at Atlanta in ‘84, for no tangible result. Grand gestures aimed at winning hearts and minds don’t always pay off. P J Keating, collector of antique clocks and arbiter of

fine architecture, once popped into the MCG, the pockets of his Zegna suit stuffed with smelling salts lest he keel over from the pong of the great unwashed, to win a bit of street cred among cloth-capped Collingwood supporters. But sports fans are not all dills. As a Wagner loving New South Welshman, the Victorian crowd wouldn’t have a bar of Keating’s pseudo camaraderie. 1996 was just around the corner. It’s a miscalculation that you would not expect the Member for Bennelong to make. A man more inclined, like Herman Goering, to reach for his gun when hearing the word culture, the one thing that we know the Prime Minister is genuine about is his love of sport. His footy team is St George, whom I consequently dislike even more than I always have. Knowing where Peter Costello’s allegiance lies, I also death-ride Essendon when listening to reports of the southern game. Parochialism finds bliss or torment in every weekend’s scorelines. But as Islam purportedly teaches, ‘it is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.’ What if, instead of proscribing Jawher, the poo-bahs in Bahrain praised their man for his effort and lauded him for his triumph over the Zionists?

It surely beats blowing each other up and, god forbid, a rematch might even bring the enemies together. Get a game happening. Israel v Palestine for the disputed territories of the West Bank. It would save a lot of bloodshed and be more straightforward than unthreading the Gordion knot of blinkered debate. Unfortunately, you’d have to suspect that, with their form, the Israelis, like the Poms with our Ashes, would simply not pay up.

Backlash has often wondered why we need an Australia Day Ambassador to hold our hands throughout the process. Ballina Shire declines to have one. It’s usually a TV or sports star sent up by the Oz Day organisation but this year we have Jackie Frank, editor of Marie Claire magazine. Now while we’re not averse to editors, we’re surprised that Byron Shire Council’s press release begins with a puff piece for Ms Frank’s journal. We’re even

more surprised there’s a logo for the Oz Day sponsor, Woolworths, on Council’s website. What do we get out of it? Councillors could do better supplementing rates revenue by sticking Nike logos on their t-shirts, or perhaps a tasteful Coke flag outside the chambers. ■■■■Further to our article on the Music Outback Foundation last week, we’d like to point out that Gabi Hollows was the late Fred Hollows’s wife,

though we are not spared the bullshit about the Casino-Murwillumbah rail link. Labor wants to shore up the hopes of its sitting Tweed MP Neville Newell, voted Most Exciting Man in a Dentist’s Waiting Room in 1998 and 2001, and probably reckons it can’t wrest Ballina from the Nats’ Don Page. You can read more about the upcoming Festival of the Pork Barrel online at www.elections.nsw.gov.au. ■■■■Our national spook organisation ASIO (www.asio.gov.au) is now recruiting ‘surveillance officers’ to work in the community. We can imagine the positions vacant ad for someone to fit into Byron Shire: ‘Must know Reiki, be able to speak New Age fluently, and feel comfortable in Crocs.’ There hasn’t been such fun since East Germany’s Stasi had neighbours spying on each other.
